It's New Years Eve and I'm here at home. I was supposed to go to Esbjerg with Tine but I am still feeling like shit so I decided it was best I stayed home. Which was probably the best decision because I'm curled up on my couch with my blankets and my computer. Not all that interesting whatsoever.I hope everyone has a great New Years Eve, whatever you all are doing.I'm going back to bed....

I hope everyone had and will have (to those people who celebrate a funny christmas on the 25th "over there" :P) a very Merry Christmas!I'm at home for the next few minutes before I take off to Jonna and Brian's place. I spent Christmas Eve with Karin and Ernst at Pernille & co.'s place and had a good time. I came out to Nørup a few hours early so I could hang out a bit with Karin while Ernst did his own thing around the house - lots of gossip and bitching - a serious girltalk! We had really good food at Pernille's place and just had a very...

While most of the people I know have Christmas vacation now, I still have Monday and Tuesday at work before I can fully enjoy the holiday season. So, happy vacation to those who have it and to those who have to work, sucks to be us!!Big news! Tine got us tickets to the AC/DC concert over in Copenhagen next summer! Can you believe it - AC/DC!? I never thought I would see them in concert but June 19th - we will be there and rocking it so hard!My weekend has been quiet, other than a few hours at work yesterday. Movies, sleeping in and just hanging...

HEAVEN!I can't remember the last time I spent a Saturday here at home. An entire Saturday with no plans and so far, I'm loving it. It's almost 1pm and I'm drinking a cup of coffee while listening to my music channel on tv - todays theme is 1993 and that totally brings back some memories!My week was pretty good. Work, work and more work. I did have a Christmas party at work last night and that was so much fun! Already during the day, my co-workers and I were in the party/xmas mood and had a blast. I actually wore a dress to the party and I looked...

Mondays aren't that bad. I get to sleep in and do my own thing here at home before I have to work at the club. I've been trying to get my stuff organized here and turn it into a "Rie-home". I'm trying to find my style but I don't think I have a specific style so that's kind of hard. None of my furniture actually match, I still need to unpack lots of stuff and I need to soon figure out some more lighting... BUT it's home. And it's my home!So I just spent the morning relaxing and putting artsy stuff away. I still need to hang up my shelves and once...

I'm at the youth club in Nørup so if I suddenly end this post, you'll know why. Things here are ok. Lots of work to do with my different jobs and my apartment but I'm just taking one day at a time. Trying to also have a life on the side but being the responsible adult I am, my social life is at a minimum. I have to work Friday night but I'm thinking that we'll all go out for a beer afterwards and try to have some fun. But since I'm working Saturday, I better behave myself!I have a teenager standing over my shoulder, reading my post.... I better...

Ok, not exactly weekend for me just yet. I work Saturdays so I still have today and tomorrow to think about. Puha!Life is ok here. Nice and quiet - greatly appreciated. Honestly, I haven't done anything other than relax, watch tv, sleep and eat. I was off work Tuesday and Wednesday and instead of using my time wisely (cleaning, paperwork, etc), I did NOTHING. Seriously. I now have a guilty feeling of being lazy but then again, after these last few months where everything has been going at lightspeed, I figured a couple of days with NOTHING was...

It's amazing what happens when one doesn't have a tv. I mean, I've been horrible at updating my blog the last few months and then when my tv dies - I'm here all the time!I just finished "dinner" (I need meat soon!) and am taking a break from unpacking and organizing and since I don't have a tv, I thought I'd blog a bit. Not because I have much to write about other than moving and my health. I'm still surrounded by boxes but every little bit helps. It'll take some days before I'm settled and knowing me, I'll be rearranging for several months to...

I'm on some fun painkillers right now so if I babble, I blame the drugs ;)Right now, I'm sitting on my couch in my new home, looking at all the boxes and really don't know where to start. So I decided to write my first blog post in my new home and just take it easy right now.These last couple of days have been hell and honestly, if I didn't have good friends to lean on, I don't know where I'd be right now. Probably passed out because of pain and misery! Thursday night, when I was on my way to bed, I felt a sharp pain in my side and a sudden urge...

...here in my temporary apartment. YAY ME!Yes, I'm all giddy with excitement about moving. I hope to get the key on Friday and then be able to at least move all my junk from work into my new home. Then go to a special party (will explain that one after the weekend) and then maybe - hopefully - sleep in my new home. But I doubt it. I have a feeling that I will have to wait until Saturday night to have my first sleep in a real bed since my time is limited on Friday. BUT - Saturday, I'm taking the day off work and I have the entire day to at least...

This is probably going to end up being more of a babbling session instead of being about a specific topic - now you're warned ;)Life here in little DK and little Vejle is good. Busy to the EXTREME regarding work but fuck it, I love my job. Actually I should say jobs. For the first time since I got out of highschool, I found IT regarding careers. (Yes, I know I talk a lot about my work and yes, I do have a life outside of work). I always used to be jealous of those who just knew what they wanted to do and loved their jobs and now I'm that person....

Picture time! Now that I finally have internet and some quiet time here at home, I decided to add some pictures of what I've been doing lately. Most of you readers can see them on facebook so this is mainly for my grandparents to see. (I assume they read this blog every now and then...)Anyways, in random order: The life of Rie! Singstar girls night at Jannie's place. Notice the sweatpants, bad hair and scoobydoo socks. Not the sexiest picture of...

It is completely crazy how dependent one gets of the internet! I mean, I haven't had access to the net at home for the last month and it was driving me crazy! I could easily live without my television but without the internet/computer?? Nope. Not a chance. So I forked out some money and got this really cool connection that's fast enough for my needs (as far as I can tell so far) and it's very portable. It's just a usb key thing that I stick in my computer and wham! Internet!Yes, that is my giddy news for the day. And yes, I am fully aware that...

It's actually quiet here at work. The kids are gone, my co-worker is out grocery shopping and I'm here all alone. Peace and quiet. It won't be long before the older kids (teenagers) come so I better use my time wisely.I'm doing alright. I am now living in my temporary apartment until Nov. 15 and it's actually ok. I have my own place - my own bed, kitchen and bathroom. All I really miss is a table to sit at and internet to play with. But I'm hardly ever home anyways so it's all good for now.Work is good. Lots of kids during the day, not so many...

Ok, I'm really sorry for not updating my blog at all lately. Life has been a little chaotic lately so my time in front of a computer screen has been limited.Right now, I'm in the process of moving out and into my "temporary" apartment. I'll be living there - without internet :( until I move into my "real" home Nov. 15. Sounds complicated? It's not but definitely a pain in the ass. I hate moving!But other than moving stress, life is good. I'm really busy with work and that's a good thing. I love my job.Speaking of work, this post can only be a quick...

I just finished looking at my new apartment! Yay me! It's actually identical to my old place and even in the same area - just on the other side of the courtyard/parking lot. The price is the same, the size is the same, the rooms are the same - the only difference is that it's with a better fridge and overlooks a different street. I loved my old place so I'm definitely happy and very excited. I still have 3 months before I can move in but Nov. 15, here I come! Three months is quite a while and the waiting period has it's advantages and disadvantages......

I'm pretty much on my way out the door but wanted to write a short post to say hi. I'm going over to Tine's place with Jannie for dinner and drinks - we might end up downtown, we might not. We'll see what happens but good friends, good food and good wine can't go wrong!!Things are ok here, definitely a rollercoaster of emotions but I can handle it. I am actively looking for a new apartment and am also on the lookout for cool cheap furniture.... when I moved up here, I gave all my stuff away to a good cause so I'm pretty much starting from scratch....

I just finished the happy post of Bulgaria and now I'm doing a not-so-happy post... Anders and I are no longer together. We had a great time in Bulgaria and really enjoyed our vacation together but after we got back to DK and reality hit, we decided that we were better as friends and broke up a little over a week ago. I wasn't going to post the news on my blog but then again, it's easier telling people this way. I have my ups and major downs but I'm hoping things will get easier with time. Luckily I have some good friends with strong shoulders...

Here are some pictures from our trip to Sunny Beach, Bulgaria. June 2008. We had a good time. The weather was just gorgeous and we became very good in using sunscreen and aftersun cream. I'm glad we didn't go in high season because we could already tell by the end of our week there that more and more people were coming and in high vacation season, it would be packed with people. Plus it would have been way too hot for me. Here is a little map I found...

The past couple of weeks have been gorgeous! The sun is shining, no rain and super hot - I love it! Lots of time has been spent out on my balcony or at a café sitting outside drinking cold drinks. We have to enjoy it while it lasts because it's supposed to be shitty weather again later on this week.... Blah!Things are good here. No pictures with this post as I am at work, wondering where all the kids are. Boring! Luckily I don't have a long day so I'll survive this time around. We had a get-together here at work on Saturday - a surprise activity...

Here are some random pictures of what I've been doing lately.
I think Anders took this one when we went to Jannie's confirmation in April.
Anders and I went to the westcoast one weekend when it was super sunny and gorgeous weather.
I visited Heidi in Horsens last Sunday and while we were drinking coffee at a local cafe, a marching band.... marched by. We don't know why but it was fun to watch!
Heidi in the sunshine!
Rie in the sunshine!

I'm at work right now which is why I can't upload any pictures. But I do have some and hopefully will be able to have a picture update later on today!Life is ok here. The sun is shining and that's always nice. I've been busy but not too much stress... Went to Copenhagen with the youth club and spent the weekend (May 17 and 18th) over there. Saw soccor, went to Tivoli and had a good time. Last Friday after work, I met up with Lise and Tine for dinner and drinks - good times. Saturday, I did nothing and loved it. Anders and I just hung out at home...

I'm at work so this will be a short post. Things are good here, just been really busy lately and haven't had much time to play on the computer. Work, work and more work all last week and the week before - I took on some extra shifts so I've been a little tired when I get home. But luckily I have Thursday and Friday off work (holiday) this week so I can finally get some stuff done at home!Friday evening I was at the youth party here in Vejle. 300 teenagers and only one got kicked out because of drinking. Not bad, eh? Saturday evening I was at the...

Yups, it's mom's birthday today. Happy Day to you! I'm going to try and call her today and catch her before she takes off to work.The sun is shining. Gorgeous weather today and has been this weekend. All my windows are open and when I'm done doing my computer stuff, I will go for a walk before work. I already did some morning exercises (need to look good in my bikini in Bulgaria!) and my bum is now sore. Our bike in the living room is a good thing but the seat sucks. Or I just have a pointy bum bone...Yeah, I'm not making much sense right now,...

Weekend is over and I have to work soon. Since I have the youth club tonight, I don't have to be there until early afternoon which suits me just fine. We didn't do much Friday, just hung around here and relaxed. Watched tv, made dinner and had a good time with Anders. We had a good time doing absolutely nothing! Saturday, I went out for lunch with the old Jelling Festival crowd - Lena, Erik and Lars. We discussed the possibilities of having our booth...
